Need advice with Tibial spine fracture
I met with an accident 2.5 months ago, In trauma centre doctor didn't recognized the fracture in knee, but due to the ankle sprain I was put on plaster & after 2 weeks for checkup they've diagnosed the Tibial spine fracture. It missed in the Xray but shown in the CT Scan & that was spot fracture. So put on full leg cast for next 2 weeks & then gave me the brace.
I haven't done the MRI yet but I've ct scan reports. In xray it seems like spot fracture. Now after rest of 2 months & basic exercise I can walk & also able to get almost full extension & flexion. But while walking there is some limping & slight instability at some instances. I'm not sure what should I do, I don't want to go with surgery. And I would like to know the severity of issue.
